Rationalist International
Bulletin # 116 (1 December 2003)
 
No food, no water for 60 years!

- Indian Ministry of Defence and NASA taken in by a village fraud

The Indian Rationalist Association has criticized the Indian Ministry of
Defence (MoD) and America's National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) for promoting gullibility and undermining the
development of scientific temper in India.

"The Indian Ministry of Defence and the NASA have obviously been
taken in by the  absurd claims of a village fraud," wrote Sanal
Edamaruku, Secretary General of the Indian Rationalist Association, in a
letter to the Indian Defence Minister George Fernandes. "It is shocking
to see that government officials and scientists are so gullible to believe
that a human being can survive 60 years without food and water! The
claim does not only contradict experience and common sense, but also
our well-established biological and medical knowledge about the
functioning of the human body. It is absolutely impossible that it is
true - if it was, it would disprove the laws of physiology and we
would have to rewrite our scientific text books!"

The MoD had sent a team of physicians to Charada village in Gujarat
state to conduct medical tests on one Prahlad Jani, a 78-year-old man,
who claims he lives without food and water since 60 years. "We are
trying to understand how he has been able to remain without food and
water for so many years", said neuro-physician Dr. Sudhir Shah, who
heads the team, very seriously. "NASA is involved in the project which
is being coordinated by the MoD and has issued specific guidelines not
to disclose any details about Jani."

"By 'testing' this man for 10 days without exposing him, the
mysterious operation of MoD and NASA gives enormous credence to
his absurd claims. Why this mystic mongering? The public has a right
to know the nature and the results of the tests. It is an affair of public
interest like any crime", wrote Edamaruku. "If your physicians have
been able to expose the false claims, it is your duty to come out with
the truth. If they are still marveling at the 'unexplainable miracle' due
to inexperience and lack of skeptical faculties, we demand urgently that
the opportunity to be given to the Indian Rationalist Association's
experts to overtake and complete the investigation."

The Indian Rationalist Association has experienced specialists for such
cases and a long track record of successful investigations into similar
claims. Up to now, all of them have been exposed as frauds. 

In 1999, there had been the widely reported case of  Kumari Neerja
from Jalaun district  (Uttar Pradesh state), who claimed that she was
the reincarnation of the Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of letters and
literature. She stayed alone in a small closet and allegedly did not take
any food for five years and did not excrete urine or stool. Since her
managers announced that she would soon transform into a lifeless
statue of Saraswati, the police was alarmed.

In cooperation with the police, our young rationalist investigators and
physicians verified her room and found the entry to a little toilet hidden
behind a shelf and a brick hole, through which she received food. Blood
tests revealed the presence of glucose, indicating the intake of food.
When finally a harmless gas, causing vomiting sensation, was released
into her room, she vomited pieces of chapatti and potatoes. The
confused woman turned out to be a mental case and was admitted to
the local government hospital.

In 1992, Sanal Edamaruku exposed the godman Pilot Baba who claimed
that he survived in meditation under water for five days without
breathing. Pilot Baba's under-water feat attracted national and
international attention. He constructed a huge swimming pool in a Delhi
public park, climbed down in front of a crowd of 4000, ordered water to
be pumped in and stayed there underwater for four days. That was at
least the claim.

But Edamaruku and his assistants exposed him. They found out that
there was a special secret pipeline connection. Though water was
pumped in, the tarpaulin-covered pool did not get wet inside, and the
Baba had a comfortable time on its dry ground. Four years later, in
1996, he tried it again. This time he claimed to stay for four days
buried under the earth. Edamaruku exposed him again in front of
television cameras. This time he was sitting comfortably in an
underground dug-up room.

Test confirms 'sadhu' abstained food, water for 66 years
Press Trust of India
Ahmedabad, November 27
 
It's no fast-unto-death, it's no hunger strike. But a septuagenarian
sadhu's apparently simple decision to switch off food since the age of
ten after being "blessed by the Goddess" that has left scientists
perplexed.

Prahllad Jani, the 76-year-old 'sadhu' from the pilgrim town of Ambaji
in north Gujarat, has scientifically proved that he neither ate nor drank
anything for the past 66 years.

Jani claims that he has managed to fight hunger and thirst after he
was blessed by "Mataji" (Ambaji deity) at the age of 10 years.

The medical fraternity did not believe it prima facie, but after a close
10-day observation, including sonography twice a day, at the Neuro
ICCU of Sterling Hospital, medicos had to admit that Jani has the
ability to survive without food and water.

Hospital authorities confirmed that Jani not only refrained intake
through mouth or any other route but he also did not excrete, while
under observation.

"No doubt, his bladder produced 400 ml urine during the day, but the
next day it was absorbed by the bladder itself", Dinesh Desai, a doctor
at the Sterling Hospital said.

"Mataji blessed me at the age of 10 with energy in the form of
'Amrut' from my upper jaw to sustain me and since then I have never
felt the need for food nor water nor have I fallen ill," Jani claimed.

"I will continue to live like this till she commands," he added.

"Though no normal person can continue without passing stool or urine
for more than seven days, Jani is absolutely normal and shows the
same physiological process like any other person. He is fit and fine," Dr
VN Shah, a member of the Association of Physicians of Ahmedabad
(APA), said.

The panel formed by APA, which took it upon itself to verify the
authenticity of Jani's claim to observe him included a physician,
cardiologist, neurologist, neurosurgeon, gastoenterologist, diabetologist
and an ENT surgeon.

The Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), New
Delhi would be conducting further research on him, Shah added.

Jani has now been discharged from the hospital but doctors intend to
keep a track of him as this could result into new findings.

Ahmedabad, Nov. 22 (ANI): Doctors in Ahmedabad are unable to
explain how a man has survived 66 years without food.

Prahlad Jani, the 76-year-old man, says the last time has had food or
water was when he was 10 years old.

After that he has been surviving on Yoga, a system of spiritual and
physical exercise.

A panel of doctors have confirmed that Jani did not eat or drink for
the last six decades and that he has not passed urine or stools since
then.

Jani has, obviously, become a wonder for the doctors' community. "It's
surprising that all his body systems are normal or more than normal.
We are unable to explain this phenomena. At this moment we do not
have any working thesis. But it's very obvious that he is not surviving
himself on calories. So he is on something else like some energy
mechanism. It's difficult for science to understand at the moment," said
Sudhir Shah, the head of research at Sterling hospital.

Jani has been undergoing tests by a battalion of doctors since
November 12.

A devout follower of Goddess Mahakali, Jani dresses up like a woman
and attributes his ability to the blessings of his deity.

"It's the grace of mother Goddess... everyone survives on food...but I
am on yoga. I lived in a forest for seven years. Earlier I used to work
also...Now the doctors checked me and said I am perfectly healthy,"
Jani said.

Jani, a native of Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, has hundreds of
thousands of followers, who call him "Mataji" or Mother. However, Jani
has never claimed that he has any miraculous powers.(ANI)
